Today is one of my favorite days of the year….the announcement of the National Book Award nominees! I love the NBA because the nominees are always so varied and sometimes seem to come out of nowhere. But the books are always amazing, and I love being introduced to new authors and books.

Great books! Definitely trending a bit younger than last year. I would consider a lot of the nominees to be on the upper-end of middle grade, whereas as last year’s nominees trended more YA. I have got to get a copy of Shipbreaker, though! It’s been on my “must-read” list for a while and this will be my impetus to get it.
